The Mothers of Srebrenica condemned the exaltation of Mladic: 'Chetnic ideology will not step foot in Potočara'

The Mothers of Srebrenica association condemned the revival of Chetnik ideology after fans of Red Star Belgrade and Partizan Belgrade praised war criminal Ratko Mladić during a football match. The group criticized the direct broadcast of Mladić's commemoration from Belgrade by the Radio-television of the Republika Srpska (RTRS), calling it a provocation and a glorification of genocide. They emphasized that such messages are part of Chetnik ideology and warned that it would never again enter Potočari, where a memorial complex honors victims of the Srebrenica genocide. The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) mission expressed concern over the lack of contextualization and legal accuracy in the broadcast, urging Bosnia and Herzegovina’s communications regulator to assess whether RTRS violated programming rules.

In front of the church with the body of war criminal Mladic thousands of people: They want to say goodbye to the bloodthirsty from Srebrenica

Ratko Mladić, nekadašnji zapovjednik Vojske Republike Srpske i optužen za genocid i ratne zločine u Srebrenici, bio je pokopan na Topčiderskom groblju u Beogradu. Njegovo tijelo je bilo izloženo u crkvi Svetog Luke na Vidikovcu, gdje su tisuće građana dolazile da mu se oproste. Među prisutnim su bile i političke figure iz Republike Srpske i Srbije, kao što su Aleksandar Vulin i Aleksandar Vučić. Povlačenje opozicije sa sjednice Gradske skupštine Novog Sada pokazalo je kontroverzu oko događaja. Europski dužnosnici, uključujući Europsku povjerenicu za proširenje Martu Kos, osudio su odavanje počasti Mladiću, dok su lokalni političari i javnost reagovali različito.
